Which transition metal element forms only a plus 1 cation?
Silver
Which is the transition metal with the smallest atomic mass in group 8?
Scandium is the smallest d-block element which in the past also made it the smallest transition metal. However, using the accepted modern definition of a transition metal: 'a transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incompletely filled d orbitals' scandium would not count as a transition metal, as it always forms 3+ ions with no d-electrons. Using this definition, the smallest transition metal would therefore be titanium.
What 3rd period element always forms a 3 plus cation?
Aluminum (Al) always forms a 3+ cation in its 3rd period of the periodic table.
Why zinc is placed in transition metals?
A transition element is a d-block element which forms one or more stable ions with incompletely filled d-orbitals. Zn only forms one stable ion, which is Zn2+. If we look at the electronic configuration of Zn and the Zn2+ ion: Note that [Ar] is 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p6 Zn : [Ar] 4s2 3d10 Zn2+ : [Ar] 3d10 The Zn2+ ion has a completely filled d-orbital, so therefore Zn cannot be defined as a transition element, as its only stable ion does not have an incompletely filled d-orbital. Zn, as a result of not having a stable ion which has an incompletely filled d-orbital, does not have coloured compounds : they tend to be white, and does not form complexes with ligands or display any of the other characteristics that we associate with transition elements.
What comparaions can you make with Group 1 and the transition metals on the periodic table?
Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are highly reactive, have low melting and boiling points, and form +1 ions. Transition metals are less reactive, have higher melting and boiling points, and can form multiple oxidation states. Transition metals also tend to exhibit complex formation with ligands due to their partially filled d orbitals.
What is a period 4 transition element that forms 3 diamagnetic ion?
Scandium, I believe it has something to do with that fact that it has the ability to have a double bond in ionic bonds. These diamagnetic metals between transition metals from the period 4 are copper and zinc.
Which transition metal element forms only a plus 1 cation?
Silver
Period 3 element that forms a 3- ion?
The third period element that forms a 3- ion is sulfur.

What is an example of an oxide of a transition element?
Iron oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust, is an example of an oxide of a transition element. It is a common compound that forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or air.
What element in the 3rd period always forms a 3 plus cation?
Aluminum
What 3rd period element always forms a 3 plus cation?
Aluminum (Al) always forms a 3+ cation in its 3rd period of the periodic table.
What period four element forms ions with the oxidation number -2?
Selenium forms selnides which contain the ion Se2-.
What is the element name of the cation in the compound CuF2?
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.

Gold is what type of element?
Gold is a transition metal on the periodic table.The processes under which gold forms and gets transported definitely falls within the confines of geology and the fact that gold is a mineral makes geology the primary field to study it.
Which group in the periodic table contains an element that can form a blue sulfate compound?
I believe it is group 11 since it is a group in the transition metal class, and transition metals form ions with color.
